Ever wonder what Barbie wears beneath her skirt?

You know those cakes? The ones where the cake is the skirt and there's a Barbie sticking out of them? That's what this is. With a disembodied brunette Ken doll. And wrapped in a towel. With flowers... She wears painted on underwear.

Many many years ago, my mom and dad had an album (yes a VINYL record! In a CARDBOARD sleeve - I'm ancient don't you know) by Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass. It was called "Whipped Cream" and the lady was wearing a whipped cream dress with a very full "skirt". When Mom was getting rid of things, she remembered I loved that album cover and gave the record to me. That's the long story of what this cover reminds me of. And I'm probably the oldest one here and no one else has any idea what I'm talking about.

D, We have this exact album -- on vinyl in the cardboard sleeve. You should know by now that we pretty much have EVERYTHING. :D Actually, we have an incredible vinyl collection. Over 250 of them, of various genres. Not surprising, given UW's family, several of them are polka.

ROFL Femme - I have some polka records. My mom used to dance around the living room holding us (VERY young). It's a wonderful memory! And I have her mom's 78 record player! I have 4 collections of vinyls. Frank's, mine, his and mine, and Bob's. Kind of like our house - eclectic. From ABBA to you name it. I wish I hadn't sold my Partridge Family albums. They might be worth something today on e-bay. Or not.

The Girl's boyfriend (yes, my 7 year old has a boyfriend), plays the slide trombone and the trumpet. Maybe I can get him to take up the tuba, too. Although that seems like it would be a bit big for a 7 year old.
